“Whoever says a little dog can't heal you is wrong.” — Helen, breeder & author
What's inside
Twelve calm chapters — in the order you'll actually need them.
No jargon, no lectures. Just what works, written by someone who's done it a hundred times.
02
The first 3 days — let them settle
Why doing less is the kindest thing you can do, and the golden rule for a calm arrival.
03
The first night & the crying
Helen's white-noise secret, plus exactly what to do (and not do) at 2 a.m.
04
Toilet training without tears
A simple, consistent system so they learn fast — without you losing your mind.
05
The crate & good sleep
How to make the crate a happy den, and why protecting naps changes everything.
06
Feeding your puppy
How often, how much, safe treats, and the foods you must never give.
07
Your puppy's health timeline
A typical vaccination, worming and parasite schedule to take to your vet.
08
Doodle coat care done right
The bit most owners get wrong — and the small routine that saves you a painful de-mat.
09
Socialisation — the window that matters
Gentle exposure that shapes a confident adult dog, safely and at the right pace.
10
The first bits of training
Four simple, happy things to teach in tiny sessions — using praise, not punishment.
11
When to call the vet
The red flags that mean don't wait — plus the numbers to keep on the fridge.
12
Printable trackers & health record
Toilet, feeding, sleep and vaccination trackers — print them, stick them up, see the pattern.
A peek inside
Designed to feel like a deep breath.
Soft cream pages, sage accents, gentle illustrations. Read it on your phone in the middle of the night, or print the trackers and stick them on the fridge — whatever gets you through the first few weeks.
- Beautifully laid out — easy to skim at 3 a.m.
- Designed for screen and print
- Updated as breeding practices evolve
- Yours to keep, forever
This is for you if…
- You've just brought home (or are about to) your first Cavoodle, Toy Poodle or small breed pup
- You're a bit overwhelmed and don't know what's normal vs. what's a problem
- You want one trustworthy place instead of fifteen conflicting Google searches
- You'd rather follow a real breeder than a random influencer
It's probably not for you if…
- You already have years of small-breed experience
- You're looking for a long, dense, textbook-style training manual
- You want a replacement for your vet (this is a guide, never a substitute)
A note from Helen
Named for my son. Built from everything Trevor taught me.
I lost my son Gareth six years ago. For a long while I coped in ways I'm not proud of — just trying to numb it all and keep breathing.
Then my grandson rang me about a runt of the litter nobody wanted. I took on that adorable little Cavoodle and named him Trevor Gareth Laurent. That little dog has saved me more times than I can count.
I now have four Cavoodles and one Toy Poodle, and they are my life. Gazza Downs Petite Paws was born to help other families — especially those who've known real loss — feel their spirits lifted when they least expect it.
This pack is everything I'd tell you over a cup of tea at my kitchen table.
Plus four printables
The fridge-door essentials.
Print them, stick them up, fill them in for the first couple of weeks. That's when the chaos turns into a pattern you can actually see.
Bonus 01
Printable toilet tracker
Spot the pattern in days, not weeks.
Bonus 02
Feeding tracker
Know exactly what they ate and when.
Bonus 03
Sleep & notes journal
Make sense of those first wobbly nights.
Bonus 04
Health & vaccination record
Take it to every vet visit. Keep it for life.

From puppy families
The kind of guide families share with their group chat.
“I read this the night before we picked up our cavoodle and it completely changed how I felt walking in the door. Calm, kind and so practical.”
“The white-noise tip alone was worth it. Our toy poodle settled by night three. I keep telling friends about this pack.”
“Reads like a chat with your nan who happens to know everything about puppies. Bought it for my daughter and one for me.”
FAQ
Anything else you'd like to know?
It's written with small doodle breeds in mind, so the coat-care and feeding sections are tailored to them — but 90% of the pack (toilet training, sleep, crate, socialisation, health timeline) is gold for any small puppy.
